Objective: To conduct a systematic review to identify the impact of diabetic foot ulceration (DFU) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in individuals within the Arab world.
Method: A PRISMA-guided systematic search for HRQoL studies in Arab populations was conducted in CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus and EBSCO. Relevant studies were critically appraised using the STROBE statement checklist.
Article Synopsis
- The pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) piloted the use of Zoom for hybrid clinical rounds to maintain social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Quantitative data showed that physical rounds took significantly less time compared to virtual rounds, while qualitative feedback highlighted advantages such as better multidisciplinary discussions, but also challenges like reduced engagement for bedside nurses and trainees.
- Overall, HCWs found the hybrid model feasible, noting it helped limit physical contact but emphasized the need for improvements in team interactions and educational opportunities.
Objective: To evaluate the methodological approaches used to assess the cost consequences of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) in published scientific papers.
Method: A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science and CINAHL. English language papers reporting on the cost of DFUs were identified.
